Human condition

- The upset (divisive) state of humanity; the competitive, aggressive and selfish behavior of human beings, that is juxtaposed to humanities integrative moral instincts which are to be loving, selfless and cooperative.

A book named “freedom”, written by Jeremy Griffith, introduces the compassionate understanding of our species ‘human condition’. In defense of humanities divisive behavior, Jeremy dissects the underlying truths of the human race and our search for understanding, presenting an empathetic and honest look at the human races ‘condition’.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
